A spokesman for UFC said: “Godbeer will be looking to make it three wins in a row as he competes inside the Octagon in the English capital for the first time.

“Poberezhets, meanwhile, will be hoping to make a lasting impression in his UFC debut and, with no less than 12 first round TKO/KO victories on his record, we can expect the Ukrainian powerhouse to be looking for a quick finish with which to upset the English crowd.”
